CHINESE "FR1END mAsoNs."
They Hold an Albright Session.

They Hold an Albright Session.
From an early hour last Sunday evening
till after 3 o'clock in the morning the shadow
of big policeman moved back and forth
across the curtained windows of the Chinese
laundry at % Sheldon street. Occasionally
Chinaman passed out or in, and it was
evident that something of special impor-
lance to Chinese residents of Hartford was
on foot.
Inquiry at the door did not develop much
except that the stalwart Larry Keegan had
been engaged for an ali-night job and Chi
nese secret society was in session. A reporter
succeeded at length in catching a Celestial
who had been out for provisions and, though
he spoke very little English, managed to get
few facts. 1t appears that there is among
the Chinese q society somewhat similar to
the Masons and described by the reporters
informant as Friend Masons. There is a To-
cal lodge, of which Dock Lee, who does bust
ness on Market street, is "head man" Yes
terday Grand lodge officers from California
were in the city, and the lodge was called to-
gether for instruction. A popularity of this
Friend Masons appears to be that sessions of
all sorts must be held by dark instead of by
daylight, and they are therefore begun after
shutdown and last till between 8 and in the
morning. The reporter tried to extract the
names of their excellencies from California,
but the Chinese did not seem to catch the
idea and the names will not appear.-Hart-
ford Courant.

PLEADS FOR HER AssAILANr.

Mrs. Daniel Carroll Does Not Want
Her Brother-In-Law Prosecuted Al.
though He Fe1led Her With a Hat
ches-Her skull TrePaRned-A Piece
of Skull RemOved-Omc of the Thick
est Specimens Ever Taken From the
Head of human Being.
NORWICH, Conn, Oct. 24.-The injuries
which Mrs. Daniel Carroll received in Pres.
ton on Saturday by having a murderous as
sault committed on her by Eugene Carroll
with Ratchet will beyond all doubt prove
fatal. While her injuries should not neces-
sarily prove fatal, 1t is feared, as she is a
woman between fifty and sixty years of age,
that she will be unable to survive the shock.
Eugene Carroll is brother of the husband
of the woman he struck. For over year
the two brothers have been out with each
other and one would have nothing to do with
the other, although they live on adjoining
lots on Mechanic street. Eugene has been
Incorporate and caroused most of his time.
Yesterday Mrs. Daniel Carroll regained con-
seriousness and was able to tell the story as to
how she was felled to the ground.
On Saturday afternoon Eugene, Ratchet in
hand, appeared in the rear of his brother
Daniels house, and he proceeded to cut
down the fence which separates the two
brothers lots. He had cut ten or fifteen feet
of the fence down before he was discovered
by his brothers wife, Mrs. Daniel Carroll.
She went out and inquired of him what he
was doing. His only reply was with the
weapon he had in his hand. Turning the
Ratchet over he dealt Mrs. Daniel Carroll a
murderous blow on the left side of the head,
two and half inches from the left eye and
an inch and half above the left ear, frac-
turing the skull and knocking her senselesa
| to the ground.
| Later on Mrs. Carroll was found lying on
| the ground, just where she had been struck
/ by her brother-in-law, by her mother. The
latter thought her daughter had had fit,
/ and SO carried her into the house. DR.. Cas-
| sidy, however, was summoned. He found
1 that the woman's skull was fractured and
| that a surgical operation must be perform ed
| at once to save her life.
With Drs. Paddock and Hartman, whom
he at once called, he trepanned the skull and
| removed several large pieces of fractured
bone which were pressing upon the brain
/ The piece of skull removed measured one-hal1
1 inch in thickness and is conceded to be one
4 of the thickest specimens ever taken from
| the head of human being. The blow mus
have been powerful one to have driven tht
| skull upon the brain.
Immediately after striking the murderou'
blow Eugene Carroll fled, but was afterwarc
| arrested and locked up. His sister-in- Law
pleads that there be no prosecution agains
him. She apparently does not realize how
| seriously she is njured. She is the mother
of several children. Eugene, the villain whC
struck her, is a widower and has bad Iepu

Death of n Well Known old Clinton
Resident.

Mr.. Eben Griffin, aged seventy-eight, died
suddenly at his home in Clinton Saturday
night. Not arising Sunday morning, his
brother Samuel went to rouse him and found
him dead on the floor He had evidently got
up to get some medicine, as his lamp had
been lighted and glass and spoon stood be-
side it on the table. Mr.. Griffin had COM
planned of pain around the heart and pains
in mis- shoulder for few days past. Medical
Examiner Dr. H. S. Reynolds was summon
ed, but too late to be of use. 1t was his
opinion that Mr. Griffn's death was caused
by rheumatism of the heart. He was a very
genial and accommodating man. He had a
store for many years where he fixed watches
and sold fancy articles. He was much re-
spected. He leaves sister, Mrs. Edwin
Park, and one brother. Funeral to-day.
